You’re welcome, Jules. I stll remember those days when we exchanged comments on your blog. I’m trying to remember, though, if at that time I was still living in southern Texas – Karnes County, to be exact. Anyway: I like it here, be it more to the south as previously, or, now, in the Texas Hill Country.
Talkling of Leavenworth: we passed through it on October 22, 2016, on what we call our “RailTrailsRoadTrip”: a 18-day trip that took us – on a longish route – as far up as to Beatrice/NE, to bicycle a few rai trails. On Oct. 22, we started the day visiting the Truman Library and Museum in Independence/MO, and then got on our way to Beatrice. We had a stop in Leavenworth, btw, to visit the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum. There’s a narrative of the day, with quite a few pictures, here: https://wp.me/p4uPk8-Wa

Well, I agree: we don’t really need that much firewood – at least not at one time. But it’ll serve us for quite some time. This winter, btw, we have already used more than in the previous three winters combined. And we might have to use more. And then, us being in Texas, there’s always the need for wood for bbq-ing. 😉
Today, btw, outr temps have risen to over freezing, and we won’t have a freeze for the next ten days at least, if the forecast is right. Still, a fire in the fireplace might be welcome.

Actually, neither would I. Quite a bit is still left from the previous owners, and I am really good at procrastinating as far as work is concerened. 😀 I’m suffering from a severe case of ergophobia! 😀
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you,
Pit

That’s a nice bit of firewood, Pit, for someone in Texas, but it wouldn’t see us through the winter here. We need quite a bit more to keep us warm over a much longer spell of cold weather than what you get in sunny Texas. Aren’t you lucky?!

I agree, Anneli: for (southern) Texas it is more than enough firewood, especially considering the fact that we don’t (really) need it to keep us warm. For that we have central heating. The fireplace in the living-room would not be enough anyway. So, that fire is just for cosiness.
